Summary
High self-efficacy aids recovery after open heart surgery, positively impacting sexual function in men but negatively in women. Patients often lack adequate information regarding sexual health post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Sexual Health
- Psychological Adaptation
Background:
- Open heart surgery significantly impacts patients' lives and recovery.
- Self-efficacy plays a crucial role in patient adaptation and healing post-surgery.
- Sexual function is an important aspect of quality of life often affected by cardiac events and surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate self-efficacy and sexual function in patients following open heart surgery.
- To identify factors influencing self-efficacy and sexual function in this patient population.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive cross-sectional study involving 76 open heart surgery patients.
- Data collected using information forms, Barnason Efficacy Expectation Scales (BEES): Cardiac Surgical Version, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF), and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).
Main Results:
- 30.3% of patients were sexually inactive and lacked information on sexual function.
- A positive correlation was found between self-efficacy (BEES) and erectile function (IIEF) in men.
- A negative correlation was observed between self-efficacy (BEES) and female sexual function (FSFI).
Conclusions:
- Patients undergoing open heart surgery frequently experience sexual dysfunction and insufficient information regarding sexual health.
- Self-efficacy positively influences sexual function in male patients but negatively impacts female patients post-cardiac surgery.
- Addressing sexual health concerns and improving self-efficacy are vital for comprehensive recovery and well-being after open heart surgery.
